This watchdog blog, by journalist Norman Oder, offers analysis, commentary, and reportage about the $4.9 billion project to build the Barclays Center arena and 16 high-rise buildings at a crucial site in Brooklyn. Dubbed Atlantic Yards by developer Forest City Ratner in 2003, it was rebranded Pacific Park in 2014 after the Chinese government-owned Greenland Group bought a 70% stake in 15 towers. New York State still calls it Atlantic Yards. Contact: AtlanticYardsReport[at]hotmail.com

Note the two posts below from Instagram on Saturday, showing videos of, first, a traffic jam on Dean Street between Carlton and Vanderbilt avenues, then Bergen Street between Flatbush and Carlton avenues, both at around 8 pm.

While both streets have become stressed because of construction of Pacific Park Brooklyn, the Barclays Center event at the time, Ladies Night Super Jam, was likely a factor.
